This coaching is not right.

After Masumi Kamuro left the convenience store, Ito Sawa stood there, a hint of anticipation rising in her heart as she prepared to take action.

He knew that, regardless of whether Masumi Kamuro's theft was successful or not, it might bring him some good results.

If Masumi Kamuro succeeds, she will likely develop a certain affinity for him, since he has given her a target that is both exciting and relatively safe.

This sense of closeness might improve their relationship, and she might even become his ally at some point in the future.

Furthermore, as the daughter of the school's chairman, Arisu Sakayanagi's image and status cannot be compromised. If her personal belongings were stolen, it would undoubtedly cause her some distress and impact her privileged position.

Even if Katsuragi, the kind-hearted man, were willing to work with Sakayanagi to find the thief, his subordinates, including Yahiko, wouldn't let the opportunity slip by.

Even if she fails, Ito Sawa believes it will give Sakayanagi Arisu a headache for a while.

In this world, the school doesn't seem to care much about students' theft; at least judging from Kamuro Masumi's previous experience, the school didn't take any drastic measures against her.

How can Sakayanagi, who has lost his means of coercion, guard against Kamuro at all times?

He was looking forward to it.

Ito Sawa walked towards the dormitory building, a tall, modern, and simple structure. He knew this building would be his home for the next year.

The dormitory rules are simple: floors one through eight are for boys, and floors nine through sixteen are for girls. This arrangement is convenient for management and also ensures privacy.

He held the key card for room 503 in his hand; this was his new home. He walked towards the elevator, the doors slid open silently, and everything seemed normal. But as soon as he stepped inside and pressed the button for the fifth floor, he immediately sensed something was wrong—the elevator was moving far too fast.

Ito Sawa carefully looked around the carriage and quickly noticed something was wrong.

Intricate patterns were etched on the floor and walls. As the elevator started moving, these patterns began to glow faintly.

Ito Sawa took a closer look and quickly saw through the energy flow path of the magic circle, how the energy flowed within the magic circle and how it was converted into power to propel the elevator upwards rapidly.

The lines of the magic circle shimmered under the light, like living veins, with energy flowing within them, forming a complex and intricate network.

He saw the energy originate from a core energy stone at the bottom of the elevator, flowing along the patterns of the magic array. At each node, the energy was amplified and transformed until the entire elevator was filled with this power.

This process is quick and efficient, completed almost instantly, enabling the elevator to operate at extraordinary speeds.

Ito Sawa was amazed by this technology. He knew it was not just simple mechanical engineering, but a masterpiece of energy utilization and magic array design.

He realized that the school's technological level far exceeded his expectations, and that the application of this energy array could play an important role in many places.

He became increasingly interested in teaching the supernatural abilities course.

However, the elevator quickly reached the fifth floor, and the doors slid open silently again. Ito Sawa paused to think, then stepped out of the elevator, anticipating what surprise awaited him in the dormitory.

Ito Sawa swiped his room card to open the door to room 503, and as soon as he stepped inside, he was immediately drawn to the room's furnishings.

The room's floor, walls, and even ceiling were covered with smooth bricks made of energy stones. These bricks not only emitted a faint glow but also radiated subtle energy fluctuations, making him feel refreshed and relaxed.

He knew that the value of these energy stone bricks lay not only in their beauty, but also in the energy they contained.

However, since the school had not yet taught them how to absorb and enhance energy, he could only use this energy to strengthen his body.

However, Itō Sawa's ability seems to be of the mental type, so physical fitness is basically useless to him.

This made him question his hard work over the past three years. In this world of superpowers, what use is physical fitness?

But soon, his attention was drawn to a detail in the room.

He discovered that, apart from the magic circle that prevented energy from leaking out of the room, there were no other magic circle decorations in the room.

This surprised him somewhat, and recalling the strange thing he had noticed earlier, he secretly made a guess.

So he approached the wall and reached out to touch the magic array patterns he could see.

His fingers gently traced the delicate lines, and he quickly confirmed his guess: like the magic arrays in the elevator car, these magic arrays were made of rhombus steel.

He recalled the misshapen steel pieces in the store.

No wonder, no wonder they are all shapeless, yet each one is carved very exquisitely.

He secretly thought to himself that the school might have designed it this way on purpose.

They were afraid that the new students wouldn't know how to channel energy but would insist on buying magic arrays, so they only provided some basic rhombus steel materials.

Thus, students who can recognize what kind of magic array these scattered steel bars can be assembled into already possess a certain level of knowledge and understanding, which is one of the conditions for purchasing magic arrays.

It seems the school will definitely be offering courses related to magic arrays in the future.

But now, is anyone buying it?

Ito Sawa sat on the edge of the bed in the room, his brows slightly furrowed, his fingers gently tapping his knees as he fell into deep thought.

He tried to recall the scene in the store, trying to remember if any other students had noticed the strange steel pieces or even bought them.

He closed his eyes, and every scene inside the convenience store flashed through his mind: bustling students, shelves full of goods, and busy clerks...

He racked his brains, trying to recall the student who might have bought the steel.

However, he did not recall any particular scene; no one paid special attention to Mitsubishi Steel, and no one bought them.

Just as he was concentrating on recalling, an untimely sound interrupted his thoughts—his stomach growled twice.

The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet room, making him feel somewhat embarrassed. A wave of hunger washed over him, reminding him that he hadn't eaten in a long time.

Ito Sawa opened his eyes, sighed, and gave a self-deprecating laugh. He stood up, deciding to address his immediate hunger first. He knew that only by maintaining good physical and mental condition could he better cope with the challenges ahead.

He stepped out of the room, and the corridor was filled with the faint glow of energy stones, giving people a peaceful and warm feeling.

He walked down the stairs, intending to see what good food the school cafeteria had. His stomach started growling again, this time louder, and he quickened his pace, filled with anticipation for the delicious meal to come.
